Design: Wolsey Stars

Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, Henry VIIIs Lord Chancellor, started Hampton Ct Palaces transformation from an ordinary country house to a magnificent Tudor palace. He oversaw the initial interior scheme of this imposing residence and its Great Watching Chamber ceiling, in which the structure of Wolsey Stars can still be seen today. Found in the palace as an ornate wooden geometric design of interlocking stars, this print is contemporary in feel with its simple linedrawingstyle to complement Wren Architecture.
